Description
Die
vorliegende Erfindung betrifft allgemein eine modulare Tastatur
mit einem mechanischen Teil und einem virtuellen Teil. Bevorzugte
Ausführungsformen
der Erfindung können
für die
Verwendung in elektronischen Geräten
wie etwa Mobiltelefonen und ähnlichem
konfiguriert werden, Die typischen Tastaturen von tragbaren elektronischen
Geräten
wie etwa Mobiltelefonen, PDAs usw. lassen sich zwei Kategorien zuordnen.
Die erste Kategorie weist einen herkömmlichen Aufbau wie in
Die
Tastatur
Eine
herkömmliche
Tastatur der zweiten Kategorie ist in
Insbesondere
wird die virtuelle Tastatur
Es ist eine Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine modulare Tastatur für elektronische Geräte anzugeben, wobei nicht nur die Fläche des Anzeigebildschirms vergrößert wird, sondern auch ein einhändiger Betrieb ermöglicht wird. Weitere Aufgaben der Erfindung werden durch die folgende Beschreibung verdeutlicht.It It is an object of the invention to provide a modular electronic keyboard equipment not only increasing the area of the display screen, but also a one-handed Operation possible becomes. Other objects of the invention will become apparent from the following description clarified.
Die bevorzugte Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist eine modulare Tastatur, die für die Verwendung mit einem elektronischen Gerät konfiguriert ist. Zum Beispiel kann die modulare Tastatur für die Verwendung in einem Mobiltelefon, einem PDA oder ähnlichem konfiguriert sein. Die modulare Tastatur umfasst einen mechanischen Teil und einen virtuellen Teil. Der mechanische Teil ist konfiguriert, um auf einem Körper des elektronischen Geräts angeordnet zu werden. Der virtuelle Teil ist konfiguriert, um durch Software implementiert zu werden und auf einem Berührungsbildschirm des elektronischen Geräts angezeigt zu werden.The preferred embodiment The invention is a modular keyboard suitable for use with a electronic device is configured. For example, the modular keyboard may be for use be configured in a mobile phone, a PDA or the like. The modular keyboard includes a mechanical part and a virtual part. The mechanical part is configured to work on one body of the electronic device to be arranged. The virtual part is configured to work by software to be implemented and displayed on a touch screen of the electronic equipment to be displayed.
Einer
der beiden Teile der modularen Tastatur ist ein alphanumerisches
Tastenfeld und der andere Teil ist ein Navigations-Tastenfeld. Zum
Beispiel ist in der bevorzugten Ausführungsform von
Vorzugsweise ist eine Anzeigeleuchte wie zum Beispiel eine LED mit jeder Taste des mechanischen Teils der modularen Tastatur assoziiert. Außerdem kann ein Teilsatz des mechanischen Teils verschiedenen Navigationsfunktionen zugeordnet sein. Zum Beispiel können die mit den Nummern 2, 4, 6 und 8 assoziierten Tasten jeweils einer nach oben, nach links, nach rechts und nach unten gerichteten Bewegung zugeordnet sein.Preferably is an indicator light such as an LED with each button associated with the mechanical part of the modular keyboard. In addition, can a subset of the mechanical part different navigation functions be assigned. For example, you can the keys associated with numbers 2, 4, 6 and 8 each one up, left, right and down movement be assigned.
Je nach dem Eingabemodus des elektronischen Geräts können einige oder alle Tasten des mechanischen Teils aktiviert sein. Die verfügbaren Tasten werden durch ein Leuchten der Anzeigeleuchten angegeben. Der virtuelle Teil der modularen Tastatur wird auf dem Berührungsbildschirm in Abhängigkeit von dem Eingabemodus angezeigt. Zum Beispiel ist in einem Eingabemodus, in dem nur Navigationsfunktionen benötigt werden, nur der Teilsatz der Tasten des mechanischen Teils aktiviert, während der virtuelle Teil deaktiviert ist, um eine maximale Fläche auf dem Berührungsbildschirm vorzusehen. In einem anderen Eingabemodus, in dem sowohl Navigationseingaben als auch alphanumerische Eingaben benötigt werden, sind alle Tasten des mechanischen Teils aktiviert und wird der virtuelle Teil angezeigt.Depending on the input mode of the electronic device, some or all keys of the mechanical part may be activated. The available keys are indicated by the illumination of the indicator lights. The virtual part of the modular keyboard is displayed on the touch screen depending on the input mode. For example, in an input mode where only navigation functions are needed, only the subset of the keys of the mechanical part is activated while the virtual part is disabled to provide a maximum area on the touch screen. In one In another input mode in which both navigation inputs and alphanumeric inputs are needed, all mechanical part keys are activated and the virtual part is displayed.

In
jedem Fall kann ein Teilsatz der Tasten auf dem alphanumerischen
Tastenfeld verschiedenen Navigationsfunktionen zugeordnet sein.
Zum Beispiel können
in der beispielhaften Ausführungsform von
Vorzugsweise

Außerdem kann
das Navigations-Tastenfeld mit weniger Tasten konfiguriert sein.
Zum Beispiel kann das Navigations-Tastenfeld
In

In
dem ersten Modus
In
dem zweiten Modus
In
dem dritten Modus
Wenn
zum Beispiel eine Telefonnummer gewählt wird, benötigt der
Benutzer alle zehn numerischen Tasten (0, 1, 2, usw.) des alphanumerischen Tastenfelds.
In diesem Operationsmodus aktiviert und beleuchtet das elektronische Gerät
Wenn
der Benutzer den Eintritt in einen bestimmten Eingabemodus wählt, setzt
das elektronische Gerät
die Benutzerschnittstelle entsprechend. Mit anderen Worten entspricht
die durch das elektronische Gerät
vorgesehene Eingabeschnittstelle jeweils einem spezifischen Eingabemodus.
Wenn der Benutzer zum Beispiel sowohl eine Navigationseingabe als
auch eine alphanumerische Eingabe anfordert, wird das virtuelle
Tastenfeld
Vorzugsweise
ist der mechanische Teil an einem unteren Teil des Körpers des
elektronischen Geräts
angeordnet, während
der angezeigte virtuelle Teil in einem unteren Teil des Berührungsbildschirms in
der Nähe
des mechanischen Teils angeordnet ist. Wenn in der beispielhaften
Ausführungsform

In bevorzugten Ausführungsformen der Erfindung können Symbole oder Legenden, die den Eingabemodus angeben, auf dem Berührungsbildschirm des elektronischen Geräts angezeigt werden. Auf diese Weise kann der Operationsmodus der Tastatur einfacher durch einen Benutzer des elektronischen Geräts identifiziert werden.In preferred embodiments of the invention Icons or callouts indicating the input mode on the touch screen of the electronic device are displayed. In this way, the operation mode of the keyboard Easier identified by a user of the electronic device become.
Die vorliegende Erfindung wurde mit Bezug auf eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform beschrieben, wobei dem Fachmann deutlich sein sollte, dass verschiedene Modifikationen, Veränderungen, Variationen und Ersetzungen von Teilen und Komponenten vorgenommen werden können, ohne dass der Erfindungsumfang verlassen wird. Die vorliegende Erfindung umfasst alle derartigen Modifikationen, Veränderungen, Variationen und Ersetzungen von Teilen und Komponenten.The The present invention has been described with reference to a preferred embodiment It should be apparent to those skilled in the art that various Modifications, changes, Variations and substitutions made of parts and components can be without departing from the scope of the invention. The present invention includes all such modifications, changes, variations and Substitutions of parts and components.
